So today the PT came and he walked me through several exercises. I am slow, slow, slow to get up without encouragement but I know I must. I'm not trying very hard though. I know that's not good, but my knee is in pain and the reminder of it when I think of getting up inhibits me from getting up and moving. He did take me through some exercises, some hurt a little, but when I get up next time today I will attempt to walk more than I would ordinarily do so. The pain is slightly less, not much less, I still can't bend the knee much or raise that leg straight up from a prone position on my recliner. I can, however, better get in and out of bed without help, although while it is said it's ok to sleep on my side which I love to do, I cannot. I hope the day arrives soon that I can sleep on my side, my favorite way to go to sleep.
